As the first human astronaut to land on a distant planet, you are standing on the edge of a small cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum height before falling to the bottom of the cliff. You timed the event and it took 2.00 s to reach the top of its trajectory, and an additional 10.0 s to reach the bottom of the cliff. Given that the gravitational acceleration is about 4.00 m/s?, how high is the cliff? (For simplicity, let's assume that the astronaut tossed the ball from the surface of the cliff) Pick the correct answer 288 m 200 m O 8 m O 128 m O 192 m

A block of mass m = 3 kg is sliding along a frictionless inclined surface that makes an angleof φφ = 300with respect to the horizontal surface.At the lowest points of the inclined surface, a projectile is fired at a speed of vv0 = 12 m/s thatmakes an angle θ0 = 450 with respect to the horizontal. Our aim of this problem is to find thetime when the projectile will hit the block. Find the time when the projectile hits the block. (Given, the initial distance between the blockand the projectile along the inclined surface at t = 0 is RR0 = 10 m as shown in the figure) Find the height h, where the projectile will hit the block.(c) Now assume that the projectile hits the block at its maximum range R along the inclinedsurface and the block is not sliding at all. Then find the maximum range along the inclinedsurface, RRmmmmmm = ?

The automobile is originally at rest, i.e., s (t = 0 s) = 0 m. If it then starts toincrease its speed at a (t) = (0.05t2 ) ft/s 2 , where t is in seconds, then determine the magnitudes ofits velocity and acceleration at s = 550 ft. Note that a (t) becomes a t (t) along the circular path.

In 1987, as a Halloween stunt, two sky divers passed a pumpkin back and forth between them while they were in free fall just west of Chicago.The stunt was great fun until the last sky diver with the pumpkin opened his parachute. The pumpkin broke free from his grip, plummeted about 0.5 km, ripped through the roof of a house, slammed into the kitchen floor, and splattered all over the newly remodeled kitchen. From the sky diver’s viewpoint and from the pumpkin’s viewpoint, why did the sky diver lose control of the pumpkin?
